Abstract: The present disclosure related to an apparatus that may be used for taking blood glucose measurements and providing individualized insulin dose recommendations wherein the apparatus is easy to use and facilitates improved diabetes control in patients. Also disclosed are related methods.

Abstract: A plasma processing system includes a plasma chamber having a substrate support, and a multi-zone gas injection upper electrode disposed opposite the substrate support. An inner plasma region is defined between the upper electrode and the substrate support. The multi-zone gas injection upper electrode has a plurality of concentric gas injection zones. A confinement structure, which surrounds the inner plasma region, has an upper horizontal wall that interfaces with the outer electrode of the upper electrode. The confinement structure has a lower horizontal wall that interfaces with the substrate support, and includes a perforated confinement ring and a vertical wall that extends from the upper horizontal wall to the lower horizontal wall. The lower surface of the upper horizontal wall, an inner surface of the vertical wall, and an upper surface of the lower horizontal wall define a boundary of an outer plasma region, which surrounds the inner plasma region.

Abstract: A fish feed useful in a method for smoltification and prevention of desmoltification in Salmonidae, and for prophylaxis and treatment of haemorrhagic smolt syndrome (HSS) in Salmonidae. The feed contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water, and in addition comprises sodium salts (Na+) from 10-100 g/kg by weight, polyvalent cation receptor modulator (PVCR) from 1-10 g/kg by weight, magnesium salts (Mg2+) from 0.1-100 g/kg by weight, and calcium salts (Ca2+) from 0.1-100 g/kg by weight.

Abstract: A kit (10) for removal of bone (12) from a patient to prepare a bone cavity (14) for receiving a joint prosthesis (16) is provided. The kit (10) includes a guide (20) for cooperation with the bone (12) and a rotatable tool (22). The tool (22) is constrainable by the guide (20) for removal of the bone (12). The guide (20) includes a first portion (24) thereof cooperable with the tool (22) and a second portion (24) thereof cooperable with the bone (12).

Abstract: An airbag door construction for airbag deployment comprising a hard instrument panel having a weakened area outlining at least a portion of an integrally molded airbag door. A reaction plate is attached to the underside of the panel at the airbag door location. A deployment chute is molded with the reaction plate and attached to the hard instrument panel just outboard of the outline of the airbag door. A tether is included that engages with the reaction plate whereupon airbag deployment the tether allows the airbag door/reaction plate welded combination to break loose from the hard instrument panel in a controlled manner.

Abstract: A process for making multi-colored fabrics from a single dye formula is described. The process involves providing a substrate including synthetic fibers, with the substrate having defined regions where the synthetic fibers have differing levels of fiber orientation, and dyeing the substrate with a dye bath containing at least one dye from at least two of the categories of a) high contrast dyes, 2) medium contrast dyes and c) low contrast dyes, to thereby produce a multi-colored substrate from a single dye formula. The substrates are characterized by having a base of a first color and patterned regions of a different color, with the regions of different colors corresponding to regions of different levels of fiber orientation.
